* Had our "Landscape Ladies' Dinner" last night with Annella, Mel, Rosy and Elizabeth (who I didnt meet till last night.. She used to work with Annella), at Red Lantern on Crown Street. Relatively exxy for vietnamese food (no pho found here!).. we went for the $30 banquet which was pretty good. It was kinda weird to be in the company of landscape architects (female ones at that).. just how people are connected, clients, businesses, tech-speak. Strange. I was the only one who was still in a private firm, with them all trying to convince me to join council. I don't think I'm ready for that though.

Saw THE funniest photo on Annella's phone that Mel had sent when she was in Italy. Mel is standing against a wall outdoors, with a sailor's hat and a black singlet that has gold script across the chest that says "ciao bella!" and she's wearing those tight lycra boxer shorts you can buy that has a print of Michelangelo's 'David' rude bits on it. Too fucking funny. I gotta get a copy of that shot.

* My parents (my mum, really) are leaving for the country over the weekend. They're moving to a place in Clarence Town, which is in the northern part of the Hunter Valley. They'll still be in and out of Sydney, so the house will still be there. (Don't even think about breaking in.. we've got our keen psycho neighbour on the lookout, along with numerous relatives). If I havent already mentioned, they are starting a hobby farm, which is currently sitting in our garage:



Snail farming. For consumption. Its pretty interesting and gross at the same time. My Dad made the temporary digs, but will be building a permanent installation in the country.

* And you're probably wondering what happened to Moocher II.
Well, she moved. About 2 weeks ago to somewhere in Burwood. I know it should've been a much bigger deal to me, but I guess it just slipped by. Oh, did I tell the story of how she hated/was intimidated by me? Muhahaahah.

* With my adults fleeing the nest, I thought it was my time too. So this weekend is it.
toniiights the niiiiight-aaaah.
There will be a place for solace and Pimms. Jyeeeh.
